Working after transplant
I have a desk job and I can work from home (I do so on
dialysis
days). So there is a lot of sitting. I have a whole list of questions for them on the 21st but I've not seen this one asked/answered.

PD abdomen HUGE
I started manual pd
dialysis
Tuesday and this is now Wednesday eve. Currently on 1500 ml. My abdomen is like I am six months pregnant in two days. Will that be the norm for me now? I expected some bloat but I seem to be up three sizes and hard to sit straight with knees together comfortably.

To poop or not to poop, that is the question
I already have an issue with it because of Ozempic and being on
dialysis
. I had to stop eating oatmeal every day. I eat a ton of fiber and make sure I move during the day. I have to limit water because I cannot make it through
dialysis
any more than 2 hours or I have to pee.

It's been eight months since I found out I will need a transplant
My doctor told me I'd need to start
dialysis
/get a transplant when I got to a GFR of
10
. I had my blood drawn today and my GFR is
11
. I'm scheduled for a fistula surgery in the next couple of weeks so I can do hemodialysis. I am not able to do peritoneal
dialysis
.

Officially Starting HD
So, my labs have finally gotten to the point where they've decided I need to start
dialysis
. eGFR at 6, high BUN, and high phosphorus point toward starting. I've had my (brachia-encephalic) AV fistula for a year.

Conservative treatment
Hi I’ve just been told that my dad who is 93 can’t have
dialysis
because of a lot of other health problems. His egfr is 6. His treatment will just be palliative although he’s not suffering from many symptoms at the minute.

Extraneal Dialysis
We just started Peritoneal
dialysis
using the extraneal purple solution for a 12 hour dwell and experiencing diarrhea. Has anyone else experienced diarrhea?

Three Times Kidney Transplant Recipient: "Third time's the charm."
Little did she know that this symptom would mark the beginning of a challenging journey–one that led to a kidney disease diagnosis, ten years on
dialysis
, and two failed kidney transplants.

Phosphorous questions
I am sure they will try to tell me to do more
dialysis
. But as it is, they do not take off any fluid and I still am dehydrated afterwards. I do rehydrate. But now I am worried about the phosphorous. Question one: How high did your phosphorous get?

Feeling sick after HD (advice for my dad)
Lately, he often finds that his blood pressure drops and he feels sick after he's returned home from
dialysis
, even if he feels okay during treatment.

Any Medicare Advice for ESRD?
He is on
dialysis
and preparing to learn more about a transplant. He is off our insurance in a few months and has been accepted for Medicare, but medicare is confusing, and some choices cannot be undone.

Choosing your own in-center doctor?
My mom has been at her new
dialysis
center for about three months, and the doctor and NP assigned to her are pretty terrible. We noticed that a former patient had their own nephrologist who came to the center to go over lab results and handle any
dialysis
-related issues.

Sick for weeks
The drowning feeling has improved just happens after a few hours of
dialysis
with chest pain. My heartrate is controlled by medication now. Have had ECGs CT Scans xrays and an angiogram my heart is fine. It's worse when I'm on
dialysis
the feeling crappy and chest pain. Any ideas??
